Sherman 4 Foreword Since its beginning forty years ago, the Vil- lage Improvement Association has been, for the pleasure and welfare of the community, a pioneer in movements that have lain beyond the sphere of the town's legal obligations al- though not beyond that of its interest. The Shore Path, for instance, is not public property although it is given over to the use of the pub- lic. Glen Mary and Woodbury Parks are for the use of the public but were bequeathed to the Association. The little cemetery in Mt. Desert Street is in every sense private property but needs to be kept in uniformly good condi- tion. Funds collected by the Association pay for such maintenance. The trails, formerly kept in condition entire- ly by funds of the Association, are now main- tained with the cooperation of the authorities of the National Park, but this shared responsi- bility does not mean a slackening of personal interest or of support on the part of the Asso- ciation. 5 Our Sanitary Committee has always render- ed invaluable service to the community in its cooperation with the Health Department, and in activities at times outside the legal function of that department. Dr. Kast's report of this year is of outstanding interest and ought to make us all proud of our Health Department and of its forward-looking policies.

I have also verified the amount of the invest- ments and special funds and find the cash on hand as stated in the report of the Treasurer to agree with the balance on deposit with the Bar Harbor Banking & Trust Company. FRED L. HADLEY, Auditor. September 2, 1931. Bar Harbor, Maine. 11 The Village Committee As soon as settled spring weather has come, one of the first tasks for the Village Committee is the repairing of the Shore Path for the safe use of the summer visitor. The path always suffers from the winter's storms, and sometimes repairs extend to the building of a caved-in retaining wall; but always stones must be re- placed and holes filled with gravel. This work was as usual undertaken under the care of Mr. J. Alden Morse. Then the paths from the shore to the village were gone over and the winter's accumulation of debris carried away. The little cemetery has had its usual care for the summer, and in its tidy condition makes a note of interest in the village street. The season's work that has called for particu- lar and constant attention has been that of taking care of the rubbish dumped in, and much oftener around, the V. I. A. barrels set in various places for incidental refuse. From visiting sailors who express their sense of humor by their use and abuse of these barrels to light housekeepers who at off hours deposit their messes therein, these receptacles have 12 been a target of attention not always flattering or in accordance with their intended function. We are able to see why the funny side of this IS funny, but we see other sides as well and wish that some folk on pleasure bent might realize that the joke is very much at our ex- pense. 13 Paths Committee In the absence of the Chairman of the Com- mittee the following general statement is made: The usual work of the summer, under the efficient supervision of Mr. Andrew Liscomb, has been carried on. Trails and paths damaged by winter storms have been put in order, cairns and markers have been set right, and intruding brush has been cut away. The estimated num- ber of miles of these trails is astonishingly great for the small size of the island, and their main- tenance requires constant manual labor, un- flagging interest, and-like all desirable things that contribute to our pleasure here-the ex- penditure of money. 14 Committee on Parks During the past year much important work has been done to improve the conditions, par- ticularly of the Woodbury and Glen Mary Parks. In the Woodbury Park the Village Improve- ment Association has been attending carefully to the care of the trees and paid for the clean- ing up of the winter rubbish, cutting the hay, keeping the paths in order, and seeing that the litter is removed regularly throughout the summer; but owing to limited means, it has been impossible to give any attention to the condition of the turf land, and it had become SO rough and wild that the children could not use it as a playground. The ground needed to be plowed and properly seeded and fertilized in order to get a suitable growth of grass, but the V. I. A. was not in financial condition to under- take even a small portion of this work. Mr. John H. Stalford estimated the cost of putting an acre into good grass at a thousand dollars, and thought that if proper representa- tions were made to the town authorities at the town meeting, this appropriation could be 15 secured. Thanks to Mr. Stalford's interest and assistance the Warrant Committee ap- proved and the town voted to appropriate a thousand dollars for this year and an acre was seeded under Mr. Stalford's direction, and we have every reason to hope that the same ap- propriation will be made each year until grass can be grown on the whole park. Every evidence of pine blister has been re- moved and on the side of the Park on the Cleftstone Road the birches and undergrowth have been cleared SO that the pines can grow well there. For Glen Mary Park, owing to Mr. Stalford's interest and assistance, an appropriation was made by the town of $250 for the planting of trees along the Waldron Road and Spring Street to replace those that had died and twenty-five maples have been planted along those streets. Mr. Stalford also secured an appropriation of $500 for spraying the trees of the town and this had been of much benefit to the trees in both parks as well as along the roadsides. We wish to express our appreciation of Mr. Stalford's interest and valuable help in secur- 16 ing these appropriations by the town for the benefit of these parks. The How Memorial Park has been very well cared for this summer and kept in excellent condition. There has been more use of the Parks by children, especially the Woodbury Park, during the past summer than heretofore. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES E. SAMPSON, Chairman. 17 Report of Sanitary Committee Health conditions, in a general way, were favorable during the last year. The resident death rate in 1930 was 14.9 per 1,000. During 1930, 242 cases of communicable diseases were reported. An epidemic of mumps (about 500 cases) started in August 1930 and subside in the spring of 1931. This was the first epidemic of mumps in 20 years and the manner in which it spread proves the potential susceptibility of a population to an epidemic virus which was absent for a long time and emphasizes the danger in case of an outbreak, for instance, of diphtheria. A diphtheria immunization pro- gram will soon be started by the Health Officer. Tuberculosis prevention in Bar Harbor is an undertaking of cooperative efforts by the Maine Public Health Association, the Bar Harbor Red Cross, the Bar Harbor Health Depart- ment and the public and parochial schools. It is progressing effectively. The milk control is noticeably improved through cooperation between the milk dealers and the Health Officer. 18 Sanitation progresses satisfactorily. The lack of a municipal collection system for the disposal of wet and dry refuse still remains a problem of importance. Public Health Education was started in a systematic manner in July 1930 and was much aided by the cooperation of the Bar Harbor Times. This is the second year since the Town of Bar Harbor has maintained a Health Depart- ment with a trained full time Health Officer in charge. Whatever doubts may have existed regarding the necessity for and the advantage of such a department in Bar Harbor have given way to a general appreciation of its services. It is now generally recognized that such a health department is an indispensable factor in any progressive health program. The cordial co- operation between the town administrations, and particularly its Health Officer, and the V. I. A. is making such plans possible. As an illustration may be cited that the V. I. A. Sanitary Committee raised through a public appeal $3,865.00, of which $2,000.00 was given to the Town of Bar Harbor in 1930 as a con- tribution to the initial expenses of the Health Department and $906.62 was paid to the Ameri- 19 can Public Health Association for a sanitary survey of Bar Harbor by Dr. Carl E. Buck, Field Director of the Association, which was made in August 1931 upon invitation and by ar- rangement of the Sanitary Committee with the approval and cooperation of the various official and non-official health agencies of Bar Harbor. In this connection, grateful appreciation should be expressed to the many members and friends of the V. I. A. who offered generously and very promptly their contributions for the Sanitary Committee Fund and in particular to Mrs. Walter G. Ladd for her most generous contribu- tion of $2,000. The Chairman of this Committee desires to express in this connection also very apprecia- tive thanks to the members of the Sanitary Committee for their untiring interest and co- operation. L.
